Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / November 2004AVIC-N1 & Changer - No MP3s?
Had a question.... The AVIC-N1 is supposed to play MP3s on the head unit, but if a changer is hooked up, is there a way to get the head unit to play the MP3s from the changer disks? I have disks that work fine on the head unit, but when they're in the changer, they give a status of 'cd-rom' on the display and don't play. If this configuration does not work, is there any way to get this functionality, perhaps with a different changer unit? The changer laser cant read MP3 files.

I just assumed (cringe here) that in this day and age they would have got the changer units up to speed to handle MP3 data...since everyone's running around with IPODs and xm satellite systems...or at least would had it so as long as the headend handled mp3 data, it was only a matter of getting the data from the cd changer to send the data up to the headend for decrypting what was on the disk... Doesn't it seem a bit silly for Pioneer to have a headend that accepts all these different formats, then not have a single changer that you can put mp3s into? If that's the case, I see Sony and I think one other offbrand have "mp3 compatible" changers...maybe alpine had it also...anyone make any adapters to 'fake out' the headend unit so it thinks there's a pioneer changer installed, when it's actually another brand that can read mp3 disks? I'm probably simplifying the whole mp3 car audio process...don't know much about how the data is handled, so let me know if i'm missing something...

Try this www.phatnoise.com they make digital musuc players for cars that think they are cd changers. I have the music keg and love it >I just assumed (cringe here) that in this day and age they would have > got the changer units up to speed to handle MP3 data...since [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] >> > If this configuration does not work, is there any way to get this >> > functionality, perhaps with a different changer unit? I don't think they make the phatnoise for pioneer head units...at least I didn't see it on their site the last time i checked.. Pete |
